As you haven't mentioned which benefits you are receiving, the easiest thing would be for you to ring your local DWP office and ask.

Hi G,

When you are migrated to ESA, you will be awarded either IR ESA, or Contributory ESA. or even both, automatically by the DWP, which ever one is applicable to you.

So you will know then, as it is not a matter of choice between IR ESA and Cont/ESA.

cheers

bro
